Make sure to use the Save Changes command to save the current configuration to NV-RAM before warm-swapping modules. The CPU module, however, is NOT hot-swappable. Removing or inserting the CPU module while the power is on may cause irreparable damage to the module and/or to the Switch itself.

  • Page 27: Sta Operation Levels

    Modular L3 Ethernet Switch User’s Guide STA Operation Levels STA operates on two levels: the bridge level and the port level. On the bridge level, STA calculates the Bridge Identifier for each Switch, then sets the Root Bridge and the Designated Bridges. On the port level, STA sets the Root Port and Designated Ports.

Switches that use a load-balancing scheme that sends the packets of a host-to-host data stream over multiple trunk ports cannot have a trunk connection with the Switch. VLANs & Broadcast Domains VLANs are a collection of users or switch ports grouped together in a secure, autonomous broadcast and multicast domain.
  • Page 31: 802.1Q Vlans

    Modular L3 Ethernet Switch User’s Guide 802.1Q VLANs The Switch supports up to 2048 802.1Q VLANs. 802.1Q VLANs limit traffic that flows into and out of switch ports. Thus, all devices connected to a port are members of the VLAN(s) the port belongs to, whether there is a single computer directly connected to a switch, or an entire department.
  • Page 32 Modular L3 Ethernet Switch User’s Guide Port PVID Port 1 Port 4 Port 13 Port 16 Port 9 Ports 1,4,9 9,13,16 1,4,9,13, Table 5-2. VLAN assignments for Figure 5-4 The server attached to Port 9 is shared by VLAN 1 and VLAN 2 because Port 9 is a member of both VLANs (it is listed as a member of VID 1 and 2).
  • Page 33 Modular L3 Ethernet Switch User’s Guide VLANs Over 802.1Q-compliant Switches When switches maintaining the same VLANs are 802.1Q-compliant, it is possible to use tagging. Tagging puts 802.1Q VLAN information into each packet header, enabling other 802.1Q-compliant switches that receive the packet to know how to treat it. Upon receiving a tagged packet, an 802.1Q- compliant switch can use the information in the packet header to maintain the integrity of VLANs, carry out priority forwarding, etc.
  • Page 34: Port-Based Vlans

    However, with the advent of VLANs, switches are now able to limit broadcast domains better and cheaper than routers. Also, many switches, including the DES-6300 series, have broadcast sensors and filters built into each port to further control broadcast storms.
  • Page 35 Modular L3 Ethernet Switch User’s Guide In the DES-6300 switch, the default rising threshold is met when more than 500 broadcast packets per second are being detected on a specified port. Once the rising threshold is surpassed for a duration of more than 5 seconds, it will trigger the broadcast storm rising action configured by the user.
